Well, here it is, on the afternoon of the third day since we lost 
two disk drives and we are still limping along with only two out of 
three drives functional.

The SE came out today to install a replacement 2GB drive in the HASS 
enclosure.  No problem, right?  HAH!  After installing the drive and 
rebooting, it mounted okay, but showed up in DSTAT in UNKNOWN status. 
VOLUTIL's SCRATCHVOL and INITVOL wouldn't work on it.  I asked about 
doing a FORMATVOL and the SE said, "Yeah, Let's try that".  After a 
few minutes of FORMATVOL, he said, "Break out of it and let's try 
some diagnostics".  Well, after aborting the FORMATVOL, the drive 
was gone!  Didn't show up in DSTAT, MAPPER couldn't see it, nothing!

After another half hour of messing around, the SE decided to bring 
another mech out at a later (unspecified) time.  I hope he uses 
this time to find out how to install a SCSI drive.

So, before he gets back here and really messes things up, does anyone 
know the proper procedure to get a drive recognized when it's in 
UNKNOWN status?  Thanks.
